It is named after Dr. Hormasji Dorabji Kanga, who played 43 First class cricket matches as an all-rounder, and was also a selector for the India national cricket team〔 ==Dr H.D. Kanga== As an all-rounder, his first-class cricket career spanned from 1899 to 1921. As an opening batsman, he holds the record of being the first Indian to score a double century in first-class cricket. He was a member of the Indian team that toured England in 1911, under the captaincy of the Maharaja of Patiala. He captained the Parsees, and after retirement, continued an association with the game in his capacity as President of the Mumbai Cricket Association from the 1930-31 to 1934-35 seasons. He was the Vice-President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India from 1936 to 1945. He was also the Chairman of the All India Selection Committee from 1932-33 to 1939-40. A committee was formed under the Chairmanship of Justice S R Tendulkar in 1948, which suggested that an inter-club tournament be started in the city of Mumbai, to perpetuate his memory. The Dr H D Kanga Cricket League Tournament, which commenced in 1948, has been played on various cricket grounds in the city of Mumbai without a break since then. The Dr H D Kanga Memorial Library, the only sports library of its kind in the world, was named after him, and the Mumbai Cricket Association has been managing it efficiently for the last 55 years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dr HD Kanga Memorial Cricket League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
